How to Eliminate the Genetic Predisposition for Development of Breast Cancer
The In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedure is done in the same manner as being done for infertile patients. After the oocytes/ova/eggs are recovered, they are fertilized with the father’s sperm and they start dividing. The resulting embryos at a certain stage of the development have a single cell removed and tested for sex chromosomes using the Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technique. Embryos carrying both X and Y chromosomes, indicating male gender, are then transferred into the mother’s uterus.
The procedure is time consuming, fairly expensive and far from the “old fashioned” ways to have a baby. But the high probability that your son will not have breast cancer and the possibility of interrupting the transfer of the genetic changes that causes breast cancer from generation to generation is certainly worth all the above.
